Closing thread. If you experience this issue again, please create a new thread and reference this thread.

Thanks!


Hi all,

Thanks for passing this on to us.

The teams are aware of this issue and are investigating.

A workaround would be to go out of the vehicle selection screen and back in, this will update the timer.

  • Hi, thanks, for the answer. I hope that you find the solution... the time we spent with this solution, makes we loose the vehicle...

  • Hi, the time with no solution, makes this bug very important... Don't you agree ?

    I agree hopefully they stealth fix it in next week's patch.  I didn't see it in patch notes.

    Shouldn't be listed as "solved" and the thread should remain open. Problem persists and no updates available. Even the workaround isn't really useful because, to add insult to injury, the vehicles don't show as available even after the timer has expired. This bug is ruining an otherwise enjoyable game. 

    I've made sure to take a bunch of videos in different maps in case you all can't duplicate the big in your offices.

    I have a feeling, they did that on purpose to give newbies aka noobs the chance to use vehicles and die 5 seconds after spawning in one or use attack heli or jet as transport... silly BF 2042 developers solving stuff.. BF4 developers the best..

    @edevine9, I am sorry to hear that you feel insulted because there is no status update available about the issue. This is of course not intended.

    We have received positive news from players about the workaround that can be used for the time being to bypass the issue.

    Regarding that you think the thread shouldn't be marked as "Solved" and the thread should remain open:

    Thank you for the feedback.


    The reason the thread is marked as "Solved" is mentioned in the message that is marked as "Solution". We also did not close the thread, otherwise, you would not be able to respond in the thread anymore. We don't intend to close this thread.

    If or when we have an update to share about the issue, we will do so asap.

    As of today's update, it's still not fixed.  Really dice?  ☹️
